the company's relationships with
retailers and offers a word of advice for the future.
Canadian Retailer: When you first
started to pivot Canada Post toward
an e-commerce and parcels future,
what did you imagine the challenges would be?
DELIVERING
YOUR BRAND
TO THE WORLD
Canada Post helping retailers of all sizes
capitalize on the e-commerce opportunity

CANADIAN RETAILER
| THE TECHNOLOGY & E-COMMERCE ISSUE
Deepak Chopra: We certainly knew
there would be challenges. First off,
we didn't know if retailers here in
Canada would embrace e-commerce
in the same way as the rest of the
world. So, we asked ourselves what
role we could play to innovate the
marketplace and to help retailers
seize the e-commerce opportunity.
As e-commerce started to take off,
we then knew there would be competition for what we do. We knew we
would need to be sharper in our execution, particularly with our own customer experience. We have spent a lot
of time and effort on that, which we are
now benefitting from. It has been instrumental in us becoming Canada's
number one parcel company.
CR: You've placed a lot of focus on
strengthening relationships with your
retail customers. Why has that been
important to you?
DC: Canada Post cannot pursue innovation with the assumption that
we have all the answers. To me, it
was critical to partner with a variety of stakeholders, including small
businesses, e-commerce platforms
and the very largest retailers so we
could understand their challenges.
The small businesses were saying, "Look, we want access to national and global markets. Can you
give us products that are affordable
